[0038] The present utility model provides an installation bracket. Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , in an embodiment of the present utility model, the installation bracket 100 includes a connection structure 200, a load-bearing frame 300, a transfer frame 400, and a roller module 500. The connection structure 200 is used to connect the window, and the load-bearing frame 300 is connected to the connection structure 200 and extends along a first direction. In this way, the connection structure 200 provides support for the load-bearing frame 300. The transfer frame 400 is used for connecting the outdoor unit 800 of the air conditioner, and the roller module 500 is arranged between the load-bearing frame 300 and the transfer frame 400, so that the outdoor unit 800 of the air conditioner can follow the transfer frame 400 and slide along the first direction on the load-bearing frame 300 through the roller module 500. In this way, during the process of the outdoor unit 800 of the air conditioner sliding and installing on the load-bearing frame 300 along the first direction, the frictional force of the sliding friction generated by the roller module 500 is small, which is beneficial to reducing the wear degree of the load-bearing frame 300.

[0039] Optionally, in an embodiment, a protective paint layer is provided on the outer surface of the load-bearing frame 300. In this way, the wear degree of the protective paint layer can also be reduced.

[0040] Refer to together Figure 6, optionally, in one embodiment, the roller module 500 includes a guide frame 600 slidably engaged with the load-bearing frame 300, and rollers 720 provided on the guide frame 600. The guide frame 600 can slide along a first direction on the load-bearing frame 300. Under the guidance of the guide frame 600, the offset of the adapter frame 400 during the movement along the first direction can be avoided. In some alternative embodiments, the adapter frame 400 is directly slidably engaged with the load-bearing frame 300.

[0041] , optionally, in one embodiment, the guide frame 600 is provided with a receiving cavity 610 having a first opening. The adapter frame 400 is adapted to be placed in the receiving cavity 610 through the first opening. Thus, on the premise that the guide frame 600 provides a guiding function for the adapter frame 400, it is beneficial to reduce the mating requirements between the receiving cavity 610 and the adapter frame 400, that is, it is beneficial to reduce the difficulty of placing the adapter frame 400 into the receiving cavity 610. Thus, when the user carries the air conditioner outdoor unit 800 connected with the adapter frame 400, the adapter frame 400 can be easily placed into the receiving cavity 610, so that the adapter frame 400 can move along with the guide frame 600, thereby completing the installation of the air conditioner outdoor unit 800, and further being beneficial to reducing the effort consumed by the user. In some alternative embodiments, the adapter frame 400 is bent to form a hanging groove for hanging on the guide frame 600 along the first direction.

[0042] , optionally, in one embodiment, the orientation of the first opening of the receiving cavity 610 is a second direction opposite to the first direction. Thus, when the user installs the mounting bracket 100 on the window, the first direction can be the downward direction, then the orientation of the first opening is the upward direction. After the adapter frame 400 is placed in the receiving cavity 610, the self-weight of the air conditioner outdoor unit 800 can be fully utilized to drive the adapter frame 400 to move downward, making the installation process of the air conditioner outdoor unit 800 on the mounting bracket 100 relatively easy. In some alternative embodiments, the orientation of the first opening is set at an angle to the first direction. Thus, when the user installs the mounting bracket 100 on the window, the orientation of the first opening can be the upward direction. After the adapter frame 400 is placed in the receiving cavity 610, the self-weight of the air conditioner outdoor unit 800 can be utilized to drive the adapter frame 400 to move downward, making the installation process of the air conditioner outdoor unit 800 on the mounting bracket 100 relatively easy.

[0043] Refer to together Figure 7Optionally, in one embodiment, the roller 720 is provided with a seat 710, the seat 710 is provided in the receiving cavity 610, the guide frame 600 is provided with an avoidance hole 640 communicating with the receiving cavity 610, the roller 720 is provided in the avoidance hole 640, and the roller 720 is used to press the load-bearing frame 300. In this way, the space of the receiving cavity 610 is fully utilized, which is conducive to making the mounting bracket 100 compact and easy to carry. In some other embodiments, the seat 710 may not be provided, and the guide frame 600 may serve as the seat 710; or, the seat 710 is provided outside the receiving cavity 610, and the avoidance hole 640 is eliminated.

[0044] Optionally, in one embodiment, the side of the seat body 710 facing away from the roller 720 is connected to the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 610. In this way, when the roller 720 presses against the load-bearing frame 300, the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 610 opposite to the side of the base facing away from the roller 720 provides a relatively stable support for the base. In some other embodiments, one side of the seat body 710 is connected to the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 610 in the extension direction of the rotation axis of the roller 720.

[0045] Optionally, in one embodiment, the receiving chamber 610 includes two parallel first installation chambers 620, the first installation chamber 620 extends along the first direction, the first installation chamber 620 is provided with a roller 720, and the receiving chamber 610 further includes a chamber body 630 disposed between the two first installation chambers 620, the chamber body 630 is used for inserting the adapter frame 400. In this way, in the spacing direction of the two first installation chambers 620, the roller 720 can provide good support for both sides of the adapter frame 400 inserted into the chamber body 630, so that the roller module 500 is subjected to a more uniform force during the movement in the first direction, which is conducive to extending the service life of the roller module 500.

[0046] Without loss of generality, Figures 4 to 6As an example, the first installation cavity 620 has a second cavity opening facing the second direction, and the cavity body 630 has a third cavity opening facing the second direction. The second cavity opening and the third cavity opening are communicated to form the first cavity opening. In this way, the process of installing the roller module 500 on the guide frame 600 or placing the adapter frame 400 into the cavity body 630 is very convenient. In the direction where the roller 720 presses against the load-bearing frame 300, an avoidance notch 650 extending along the first direction is formed in the cavity wall on the side of the wall body away from the load-bearing frame 300. The avoidance notch 650 is used for a part of the adapter frame 400 to extend out of the cavity body 630 for connection with the air conditioner outdoor unit 800. In addition, in the first direction, the length of the guide frame 600 is smaller than the length of the adapter frame 400, and the length of the guide frame 600 is smaller than the length of the load-bearing frame 300. In this way, on one hand, the adapter frame 400 has a longer size for connection with the air conditioner outdoor unit 800, making the connection between the adapter frame 400 and the air conditioner outdoor unit 800 stable; on the other hand, during the relative sliding process of the guide frame 600 and the load-bearing frame 300, the wear on the load-bearing frame 300 is smaller.

[0047] It can be understood that Figures 4 to 6 the structure shown is only exemplary and is not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application.

[0048] In some other embodiments, there is one first installation cavity 620, one cavity body 630, and both the first installation cavity 620 and the cavity body 630 extend along the first direction.

[0049] Optionally, in one embodiment, the first installation cavity 620 is provided with a plurality of rollers 720, and the plurality of rollers 720 are arranged at intervals along the first direction. In this way, it is beneficial to improve the smoothness of the movement of the roller module 500 along the first direction. In addition, if one of the plurality of rollers 720 provided in the first installation cavity 620 is damaged and cannot roll on the load-bearing frame 300, the remaining rollers 720 can still enable the air conditioner outdoor unit 800 to be slidably installed on the load-bearing frame 300 through their own rolling functions. In some other embodiments, in order to save the cost of manufacturing the installation bracket 100, each first installation cavity 620 is provided with one roller 720.

[0050] Refer to together Figure 8, Optionally, in one embodiment, the load-bearing frame 300 includes a main frame body 310 connected to the connection structure 200 and an adjustment frame 320 connected to the main frame body 310. The adjustment frame 320 is provided with a stopping structure 321 for the transfer frame 400 to abut against in the first direction. In the first direction, one of the adjustment frame 320 and the main frame body 310 is provided with a plurality of adjustment positions for the other to selectively install, so as to adjust the distance between the stopping structure 321 and the connection structure 200. Without loss of generality, the case where the adjustment frame 320 is provided with adjustment positions is taken as an example for introduction here. Thus, for the environment where the window is located with a relatively high air flow intensity, the user can select an adjustment position farther from the connection structure 200 for installing the main frame body 310, so that the distance between the stopping structure 321 and the connection structure 200 is relatively close. For the sake of convenience of description, a first integral body including the mounting bracket 100 and the air conditioner outdoor unit 800 is defined. Thus, the distance between the center of gravity of the first integral body and the connection structure 200 is shortened, weakening the influence of the air flow on the first integral body, thereby improving the connection stability between the connection structure 200 and the window. If the case where the main frame body 310 is provided with adjustment positions is taken as an example, the user can select an adjustment position closer to the connection structure 200 for installing the adjustment frame 320, so that the distance between the stopping structure 321 and the connection structure 200 is relatively close. It should be particularly noted that the "plurality" mentioned in this article means at least two.

[0051] Optionally, in one embodiment, two adjacent adjustment positions are arranged at intervals. Thus, the plurality of adjustment positions are discontinuously arranged, so that the load-bearing frame 300 realizes gear adjustment, which is beneficial to saving the manufacturing cost of the mounting bracket 100. However, this design is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, two adjacent adjustment positions are connected. Thus, the plurality of adjustment positions are continuously arranged as a whole, so that the load-bearing frame 300 realizes stepless adjustment.

[0052] Optionally, in one embodiment, the adjustment frame 320 is provided with a first guiding groove 322 that slidably cooperates with the main frame body 310, and the first guiding groove 322 extends along the first direction. Thus, the user can make the adjustment frame 320 slide relative to the main frame body 310 through the first guiding groove 322. Without loss of generality, the case where the adjustment frame 320 is provided with adjustment positions is taken as an example for explanation. It can be understood that the main frame body 310 is correspondingly provided with a first installation position for selectively installing at the adjustment positions. During the relative sliding of the main frame body 310 and the adjustment frame 320, the first installation position can pass through all the adjustment positions, and the user can stop the first installation position at the adjustment position required by the user, so as to facilitate the user to install the main frame body 310 at this adjustment position. Thus, it is beneficial to reduce the alignment time between the first installation position and the adjustment position to be installed. In some other embodiments, it can also be that the main frame body 310 is provided with a first guiding groove 322 that slidably cooperates with the adjustment frame 320, and the first guiding groove 322 extends along the first direction.

[0053] Optionally, in an embodiment, the load-bearing frame 300 has opposite first and second sides. A support seat 323 for abutting against a wall is provided on the first side, so that the first side and the support seat 323 can limit an air passage 340. The second side is opposite to the air conditioner outdoor unit 800. The load-bearing frame 300 is provided with an air passage area 330 extending from the second side to the first side. The air passage area 330 is communicated with the air passage 340. In this way, it is beneficial to increase the air fluidity on the second side to improve the air intake volume and / or air output volume of the air conditioner outdoor unit 800.

[0054] Optionally, in an embodiment, the support seat 323 is arranged on the adjustment frame 320. In this way, the support seat 323 is far away from the connection structure 200, which can provide better support for the support frame and make the structure of the mounting bracket 100 relatively stable. However, this design is not limited thereto. In some alternative embodiments, the support seat 323 is arranged on the main frame body 310.

[0055] The present utility model also provides an air conditioner, which includes an air conditioner outdoor unit 800 and the aforementioned mounting bracket 100. The specific structure of the mounting bracket 100 refers to the above embodiments. Since this air conditioner adopts all the technical solutions of the above embodiments, it at least has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated herein one by one. Among them, the adapter frame 400 of the mounting bracket 100 is used to connect with the air conditioner outdoor unit 800.

[0056] The above are only exemplary embodiments of the present utility model, and do not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformation made under the technical concept of the present utility model by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present utility model, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields, is included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
